yeah that's what the Mavs did if I recall correctly but they gotta be smart because Milwaukee could potentially repeat

xp lol for some reason I thought Barea, Mahimini and Chandler all got contracts afterwards. perhaps what I meant to think was they did *not* get contracts

Surprised the Pack didn't seize the opp to sneak trading Aaron Rodgers while everyone in WI is too busy popping bottles to notice

lol just remembered CP3 saying "everyone expects him to miss" when Giannis is at the line
― frogbs, Wednesday, 21 July 2021 20:42 (two years ago) link
it was kind of a bummer that Rodgers (who is a minority owner) wasn't there but tbf I'd probably wanna stay away from Packer fans if I were him too

Yeah I think every fanbase is like that. It's usually an unathletic white guy they latch into tho.

thats ASSISTANT MANAGER caruso to you, pal

caruso's defense is probably good enough for him to rise above that categorization

you think he could be manager? its a lot of responsibility

One interesting thing you can see in the stats -- Giannis really did just stop shooting threes. 31 attempts against the Nets, 15 (in four games) against the Hawks, just 8 against the Suns.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 22 July 2021 15:44 (two years ago) link
It felt like the hawks were able to bottle him up and frustrate him way more. I mean he was just amazing in these finals

ok I'm watching Budenholzer speak at the parade and I genuinely feel good for the guy. whether you think he deserves this or not you cannot deny the man was the most stressed person on the court day in and day out, it's nice to see him relaxed and actually smiling
― frogbs, Thursday, 22 July 2021 17:57 (two years ago) link
I think he deserves it! The thing he has been criticized again and again for in the playoffs is blind devotion to his plan and inability to adjust. I think he has absolutely showed this year that he's able to see what's not working and change it mid-series.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 22 July 2021 18:06 (two years ago) link
he was pretty good after that horrific Game 5 loss to the Nets. admittedly a lot of the criticism of him was the result of his team shooting 9 points worse from 3 point range than they did in the regular season
― frogbs, Thursday, 22 July 2021 18:19 (two years ago) link
he coached a great series, and there's a little bit of "yeah it's about time you coach a great series" but that doesn't take away much imo. i'm happy that he got to finish the job after starting this team on the right path following the kidd years. he seems like a good dude and has accomplished a lot while being someone that guys seem to be really happy playing for.

this is a great article about Giannis & Kidd. I guess I'm going to have to buy this book. Kidd seems like a genuine psychopath though, this is the sort of dumb shit awful NFL coaches do
Knight searches for the right words. “I don’t want to sound negative,” he says. Knight explains some of Kidd’s methods, such as how Kidd would embarrass the culprit of an error by making everyone but that person run sprints for his mistake. “He just had his way of getting his point across,” Knight says.Little things were made to be a big deal: At one point center Thon Maker didn’t have an iPhone, messing up the team’s blue-bubble iPhone group chat. Kidd was upset about it and made the team run because Kidd felt that Maker not getting an iPhone was an example of the team not being united.

The crazy thing about that Kidd article is they have all those sources who say he’s a psychopath but also a basketball genius
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 24 July 2021 16:05 (two years ago) link
Both things are probably true but that doesn’t make you a good HC - knowing what your players are good at, and more importantly, knowing what they are NOT good at, is key
